Inspired by the Daily Top Ten at RX 93.1 on which is better, Twilight or Harry Potter, I just have to say my piece. For me, Harry Potter is the better series, book or movie. There are just too many reasons why.

But now, I can only think of some:

1. I wouldn't mind my kids reading Harry Potter for its lessons on friendship, humility, love, loyalty and strength. As for Twilight, sure Bella and Edward have redeeming qualities, but HP has more for them to emulate.

2. In Harry Potter, you are taught not to judge people by how they look or by the accident of their birth (pure blood or not). Okay, Twilight does that too; do not judge Jacob because he is a werewolf and the vampires because they are.

3. HP's character are more noble. In Twilight, Edward and Bella brought all the problems or trouble upon themselves because they fell in love while Harry Potter had no choice. He was born to all of this.

I will update this every time I think of a reason why I love Harry Potter more. What about you, which one do you prefer?

I am currently reading the books on True Blood, but the story doesn't grip me as much as HP or Twilight. I don't know, maybe I had my fill of vampires and wizards.
